Schools and Storyhouse

Storyhouse partners with Primary and Secondary schools to give students the chance to learn, create and be inspired through practical sessions with a student-centred approach.

Through our approach of blending project-based learning with drama, students explore multiple perspectives within the framework of the curriculum, challenging them to find solutions to complex problems.

Regular sessions in schools allow our Storyhouse Creative Learning Practitioners to work with teachers to explore the curriculum through creativity, and gives students the opportunity to visit Storyhouse and take part in ongoing creative experiences.

We believe that every young person should have the opportunity to participate in, and benefit from, arts and culture experiences, recognising the need to develop students’ transferable skills beyond academic knowledge.

Through creative learning experiences facilitated by Storyhouse Creative Learning Practitioners, we aim to equip students with essential skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking and problem-solving – crucial for their personal professional development in the future.

Our work is inspired by the late educationalist Dorothy Heathcote, who saw the relationships between ‘expert’ adults and children as a collaborative endeavour.
